Built for a family of four, this residence sits on a 29' x 35' site surrounded on all sides, with only an 8' wide entrance. The tight, challenging layout inspired a unique solution that balances comfort, function, and cultural relevance.

​

Drawing from Islamic architecture, the design features an Iwan-inspired form, reflecting the family's faith and heritage. Though compact, the home stands out with a contemporary yet rooted aesthetic and is planned to convert into an office in the future.

The project ensures natural lighting, ventilation, and incorporates sustainable features like rainwater harvesting and solar panels, making it efficient, adaptable, and deeply personal.
